About this herb
Slippery Elm bark powder.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) is a hardy tree native to North America, particularly abundant in the Appalachian Mountain region. Left undisturbed, this majestic tree can live for over 200 years. The inner bark has been valued for centuries and is traditionally used in herbal teas, powders, and topical applications.
With a mild, pleasant flavor, Slippery Elm bark blends well with licorice root, marshmallow root, and peppermint, making it a popular choice for soothing herbal tea blends.
Sustainably Wildcrafted in the Appalachian Mountains ✔ Responsibly Harvested – Our Slippery Elm bark is ethically sourced from wildcrafters in the Appalachian region, ensuring a sustainable and regenerative harvest. ✔ Lab-Tested for Purity – Each batch is tested for microorganisms and heavy metals to ensure premium quality and safety. ✔ Naturally Air-Dried & Carefully Processed – Available as raw bark or finely ground powder, preserving natural potency.
The Appalachian Mountain range extends through multiple states, including Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and more. Our trusted wildcrafters harvest Slippery Elm bark only in a responsible manner, ensuring that trees are not over-harvested and that the forest ecosystem remains undisturbed.
